Project brief
A four-title series for secondary schools, where each volume runs to several hundred pages and has to lie open on a desk without the block splitting after a term of use.
Specification
- Format
- 190 × 260 mm
- Extent
- 320–384 pages per title
- Binding
- Sewn sections, perfect bound cover
- Finishes
- Matte lamination, colour-coded spines
Craft and finish
- 01
Section sewing
Signatures are sewn through the fold before the cover goes on, so the block opens at the gutter instead of cracking.
- 02
Opaque text stock
A heavier uncoated stock keeps show-through low on dense, double-column pages.
- 03
Colour-coded spines
Each subject carries a spine colour, printed to the same approved reference across all four titles.
What we decided
Sewing was kept rather than gluing alone because the books are opened flat daily, and the heavier stock was chosen to keep spine width predictable across the set.
